==Etymology==

During the early 19th century, horse carts were the main transportation medium for carrying goods and passengers in the present-day city area. This would lead to traffic made up of long lines of horse carts. Thus, many believe the name '''Tangail''' originated from the [[Bengali language|Bengali]] word '''tanga,''' meaning horse carts.<ref>{{CitationCite neededweb|datetitle=SeptemberTangail {{!}} Bangladesh|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Tangail|access-date=2020-09-28|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en}}</ref>
